Earlier this fall, I received a call from Courtney, asking me to baptize her husband, Brad. I was at once, surprised and delighted. I had known Brad for sometime as a very pleasant young man but was unaware of his spiritual interest levels. I was surprised as it dawned on me that God is always at work. He speaks to people and draws them to Himself, all by Himself. This, of course, is a facetious statement. It should be more of a surprise that God uses us as He does, often when we are unaware that our lives mean anything to others at all at a spiritual level. This is a recording of our Sunday morning conversation, as we talk through Brad’s spiritual journey. There are interactions that have been removed because they were not audible without a microphone. I hope that you hear what you most need to hear as you listen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
